MY STORY:
In 2019, I became determined to solve a problem that I faced for over a decade. My shoulder purses were cute, but uncomfortable. Backpacks were useful, but not always cute. The decision to not wear a purse inevitably meant losing something. The classic fanny pack wasn't easy to dress up when the occasion called for it.
I just wanted ONE comfortable bag I could wear everywhere. When I couldn't find what I was looking for, I decided to make it myself. For the next few years, I worked around my full time job to figure out the design for the convertible pouch of my dreams.
After making a dozen prototypes, I continued selling and gifting my prototypes to friends and family who loved them, the word started to spread. In May 2022, I launched Lyons Leather Co.
To scale the business past my own two hands, I've partnered with a team of talented artisans in Leon, Mexico—a region famous for its leather craftsmanship. Together, we handcraft everything in small-batches and I continue to design new collections. We are proudly partnered with the "most sustainable tannery in North America" which sources their hides from the by-products of the food industry. As a small, woman-owned business, we are endlessly grateful for your support on our journey thus far!
WHAT I MAKE:
Handcrafted, small-batch leather goods for outdoor adventures, travel, and daily life.
